Gamervision reports: "In what appears to be an ongoing trend this year, GameStop has removed This is Vegas from their computers. The Midway title was supposed to be released last year, but was pushed back around the same time The Wheelman was. Since then, The Wheelman was released, and until this point, the release of This is Vegas was up in the air. Amazon still lists the title for a November 30th release, but with no screenshots, trailers, previews, or news in the past few months, GameStop is likely acting on more than a hunch.When asked for a comment, WB PR was quick to reply."
The games industry can be a cruel mistress. Here are 5 games we would like to see resurrected for current platforms
Console Monster writes: "Following the reveal of a major game, social-networking websites are buzzing with excitement, as gamers spend weeks, months, sometimes even years waiting for screenshots, interviews, teaser trailers and gameplay videos to trickle into the public before the game’s highly anticipated launch.
Unfortunately, not all video games that are announced see the light of day, despite months of rumours and speculation. Console Monster looks at ten video games that were cruelly taken away from us."
A Perfect Dark sequel (after PDZ).
Kameo 2 (but I always saw Kameo as similar to Starfox Adventures in style myself).
Conker's Other Bad Fur Day (Original Xbox had a remake of the original game and Xbox One now has the Project Spark adventure instead).
Donkey Kong Racing (as Rare were bought by Microsoft).
GameZone writes, "When looking forward, it’s hard to not also look back and imagine what some games would be like if they came out today. What about the ones that never came out at all? While the chances of any of the following games going back into development are slim-to-none, it’s exciting to consider how much better or more practical they would be today."
As soon as I read the title the first game that came to my mind was Starcraft: Ghosts.
while i agree that some canceled games deserve to get released on the next gen, some canceled games should stay canceled. for example: beyond: two souls.
Beyond two souls is great,have you actually played it?
I would love to see a beyond good and evil 2 (not cancelled strictly speaking but it has been in limbo for a long time).
@robtion haha of course i've beaten it. multiple times. it's annoying when people judge games they haven't even played.
I thought Eight Days, as well as the getaway, not to mention Heavenly Sword 2 as well as red wood falls, all those games could have been great, sad they were cancelled.
The Outsider, thats the game I am still waiting for...
and Wardevil.. although I don't think either will see the light of day.
I do think they were too big for last gen, but this gen just starting could handle them I think.
For all we know, Wardevil could've been another game with great ideas, but poor execution.
Anyways, maybe someone will ressurect it later.
The game may not be cancelled, but it doesn't exist either. Microsoft didn't see any profit in the IP, so i doubt they would fund another.
Personally it was one of the best JRPG's i've played.
"An AI partner hadn’t really been done right by that point"
lol sure, a little game from 2004 called Half-Life 2 says hi.
What one would that be? It has been a few years since i last played HL2 so my memory could just be bad but i do not remember any AI partners in it and i beat the game atleast half a dozen times.
The only AI i remember was Dog and it was never really a partner.
I really didn't believe that this game was still coming out this year, and I wouldn't be surprised if it was canceled.
Same thing was said about Wardevil...but you never know
